AOD Assessment:
AOD Limited Assessments: Pace University Counseling Center also provides individual clinical
assessment and feedback on an as-needed basis for students found in violation of university
AOD policy, to identify alcohol and other drug problems and make appropriate treatment
referrals. This allows students to access support and services they may need to prevent AOD
misuse from interfering with their success (and that of others) at the university.
Online Assessment: Any Pace student may use the online AOD assessments referred to as
“eChug” and “eToke”. These are programs designed to give students feedback on the extent of
their alcohol and drug use and its impact on various aspects of their lives. As the names imply,
“eChug” assesses alcohol use and “eToke” provides feedback on use of marijuana. Use of these
assessments can help students reduce risk of harm to themselves and others from AOD misuse.
Recovery Support
Through a grant from the Stacie Mathewson Foundation’s Transforming Youth Recovery, Pace
Counseling Center offers support to students in recovery from alcohol and other drug problems.
This includes an on-going Recovery Support Group that meets weekly on Tuesdays from 3:30-4
in the Counseling Center.
For any students looking for assistance with addictions recovery and sobriety, Pace University
has an initiative to help students known as the Collegiate Recovery Community. The goal of the
Collegiate Recovery Community is to create a student community that supports one another
through a process of change through which students achieve abstinence, improve their health
and wellness, and strive to live the best life they can.

Through Transforming Youth Recovery and the Stacie Mathewson Foundation, Pace University
has attained a grant in order to create a student based recovery community in which Pace
students in recovery are able to thrive and succeed in the fullness of their college experience.
The Stacie Mathewson Foundation
Transforming Youth Recovery is a nationwide organization that works with communities and
scholastic institutions to create innovative and sustainable scholastic recovery communities.
Transforming Youth Recovery works with these communities to increase recovery success for
students struggling with addiction. Transforming Youth Recovery uses the real world
experiences of students in recovery to educate the public about addiction and recovery and to
erase the social stigma that blocks students and their families from seeking help.
